[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 as shown, which shows the specific structure of the first preferred embodiment of the present utility model, including a protection shell body 10, a receiving member 20 and a lens bracket 30.

[0052] The protective case body 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.). A lens hole 12 is formed in the protective case body 10, and the lens hole 12 communicates between the receiving cavity 11 and the outside. The lens hole 12 is used for the lens of the electronic device to be exposed. In addition, a first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 14 are recessed on the back surface of the protective case body 10. The first receiving groove 13 is located beside the lens hole 12, and the second receiving groove 14 communicates with the first receiving groove 13. The depth of the second receiving groove 14 is less than that of the first receiving groove 13. Moreover, the lens hole 12, the first receiving groove 13, and the second receiving groove 14 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the protective case body 10.

[0053] One end of the receiving member 20 is rotatably connected to the protective case body 10 through a rotating mechanism 40. The rotating mechanism 40 is located beside the lens hole 12, and the receiving member 20 is arranged to be foldable or openable relative to the rotating mechanism 40. The lens bracket 30 is rotatably connected to the other end of the receiving member 20, and the lens bracket 30 is arranged to be foldable or openable relative to the receiving member 20. Specifically:

[0054] The receiving member 20 is adapted to the second receiving groove 14. When the receiving member 20 is in a folded state relative to the rotating mechanism 40, the receiving member 20 is embedded in the second receiving groove 14, so that the thickness of the lens bracket 30 does not need to be made too thick, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. The receiving member 20 is of a plate-like structure to ensure the strength of the receiving member 20. In this embodiment, specifically, the receiving member 20 includes a receiving main body 21, a first connecting structure 22, and a second connecting structure 23. The first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 23 are respectively connected to two opposite sides in the thickness direction of the receiving main body 21, and the first connecting structure 22 is hinged to the rotating mechanism 40. The second connecting structure 23 is hinged to the lens bracket 30 to improve the stability of the receiving member 20.

[0055] Moreover, the first connecting structure 22 is assembled and connected to the receiving main body 21 in a split manner, and the second connecting structure 23 is assembled and connected to the receiving main body 21 in a split manner. The first connecting structure 22 is riveted and fixed to one side of the receiving main body 21, and the second connecting structure 23 is riveted and fixed to the other side of the receiving main body 21. Specifically:

[0056] A first embedding groove 211 is recessed on one side of the receiving main body 21, and a plurality of first riveting columns 212 protrude in the first embedding groove 211. A second embedding groove 213 is recessed on the other side of the receiving main body 21, and a plurality of second riveting columns 214 protrude in the second embedding groove 213.

[0057] The first connection structure 22 is provided with a plurality of first riveting holes 221. The first connection structure 22 is embedded in the first embedding groove 211, and the plurality of first riveting posts 212 are respectively inserted into the plurality of first riveting holes 221 for riveting and fixing. The first connection structure 22 is hinged to the rotating mechanism 40 through the first shaft core 24. A first shaft hole 222 is provided on the first connection structure 22, and a second shaft hole 401 is provided on the rotating mechanism 40. The first shaft core 24 is inserted into the first shaft hole 222 and the second shaft hole 401, thereby realizing the hinge connection.

[0058] The second connection structure 23 is provided with a plurality of second riveting holes 231. The second connection structure 23 is embedded in the second embedding groove 213, and the plurality of second riveting posts 214 are respectively inserted into the plurality of second riveting holes 231 for riveting and fixing. The second connection structure 23 is hinged to the lens holder 30 through the second shaft core 25. A third shaft hole 232 is provided on the second connection structure 23, and a third connection structure 31 is fixed on the lens holder 30. A fourth shaft hole 311 is provided on the third connection structure 31. The second shaft core 25 is inserted into the third shaft hole 232 and the fourth shaft hole 311, thereby realizing the hinge connection.

[0059] Moreover, a lens avoidance portion 301 is provided on the lens holder 30. The lens avoidance portion 301 is a through-hole structure or a transparent substrate structure, etc. Without limitation, in the folded state, the lens avoidance portion 301 is opposite to the lens hole 12 in cooperation. Specifically, the lens holder 30 includes a protection portion 33 and a third connection structure 31. The position of the lens avoidance portion 301 corresponds to the lens hole 12. The protection portion 33 is located between the lens avoidance portion 301 and the third connection structure 31. The protection portion 33 can increase the length of the lens holder 30 and improve the vertical screen support effect; wherein, the lens holder 30 is rotatably connected to the receiving member 20 through the third connection structure 31. The third connection structure 31 is located at one end of the protection portion 33 away from the lens avoidance portion 301. When the receiving member 20 is in a folded state relative to the lens holder 30, at least part of the protection portion 33 covers the receiving member 20. The protection portion 33 can function to accommodate the receiving member 20 in the storage state and can also function to protect the receiving member 20.

[0060] At least a part of the rotating mechanism 40 is located in the first receiving groove 13. The rotating mechanism 40 and the lens hole 12 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the protective shell body 10, so that when the product is in use, it is not easy for the user's hand to touch the lens bracket 30, thereby enhancing the user experience. Specifically, the rotating mechanism 40 includes a fixed disk 41, a rotating disk 42, a positioning member 43, and an elastic member 44. A plurality of positioning grooves 15 are provided on the protective shell body 10. The rotating disk 42 is riveted and fixed to the fixed disk 41 and clamps the protective shell body 10. The rotating disk 42 and the fixed disk 41 are arranged to be rotatable back and forth relative to the protective shell body 10. The positioning member 43 and the elastic member 44 are both arranged inside the rotating disk 42. The elastic member 44 urges the positioning member 43 to elastically protrude and cooperate with the corresponding positioning groove 15 for snap positioning, so that the rotating disk 42 can be automatically positioned after rotating a certain angle. The elastic member 44 is a spring.

[0061] The usage method of this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0062] When not in use, the receiving member 20 is embedded in the receiving groove 13. At the same time, the lens bracket 30 is folded relative to the receiving member 20 and stacked on the back of the protective shell body 10, and the lens avoidance portion 301 cooperates with the lens hole 12 and is opposite (as Figure 1 shown).

[0063] When in use, first, as Figure 1 shown, turn the lens bracket 30 outwards to open it. Then, pull the lens bracket 30 outwards, so that the receiving member 20 is opened relative to the rotating mechanism 40. Then, rotate the lens bracket 30, so that the lens bracket 30 drives the rotating mechanism 40 to rotate an appropriate angle relative to the protective shell body 10 through the receiving member 20. In this way, it is realized that the lens bracket 30 can be turned outwards and opened and can also be rotated for use. Thus, when the lens bracket 30 is opened, it can support in a horizontal screen, and the lens bracket 30 can also be rotated on the protective shell body 10 so that the lens bracket 30 can be rotated to the position of vertical screen support. The setting of the receiving member 20 ensures that the length of the lens bracket 30 is sufficient when it supports in a vertical screen (the receiving member 20 is equivalent to extending the overall length of the lens bracket 30).

[0064] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 shown, which shows the specific structure of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The specific structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the foregoing first preferred embodiment, and the difference is:

[0065] In this embodiment, the receiving member 20 is of an integral structure, which can reduce costs and also reduce production processes, etc. That is, the first connection structure 22 is integrally formed and connected to the receiving body 21, and the second connection structure is integrally formed and connected to the receiving body. Specifically, the first connection structure 27 is hinged to the rotating mechanism 40 through the third shaft core 26. A fifth shaft hole 223 is provided on the first connection structure 22, and a sixth shaft hole 402 is provided on the rotating mechanism 40. The third shaft core 26 is inserted into the fifth shaft hole 223 and the sixth shaft hole 402 to achieve hinging. The second connection structure 23 is hinged to the lens bracket 30 through the fourth shaft core 27. A seventh shaft hole 233 is provided on the second connection structure 23, a fourth connection structure 32 is fixed on the lens bracket 30, and an eighth shaft hole 321 is provided on the fourth connection structure 32. The fourth shaft core 27 is inserted into the seventh shaft hole 281 and the eighth shaft hole 321 to achieve hinging.

[0066] The usage method of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the foregoing first preferred embodiment, and the usage method of this embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0067] The design focus of the present utility model is: by providing a receiving member, one end of the receiving member is rotatably connected to the protective shell body through a rotating mechanism, and the other end of the receiving member is rotatably connected to the lens bracket, so that the lens bracket can be flipped open and rotated, so that the lens bracket can be horizontally supported when opened, and the lens bracket can be rotated on the protective shell body to rotate the lens bracket to a vertically supported position, and the setting of the receiving member ensures that the length of the lens bracket is sufficient when vertically supported, which brings convenience to the use.

[0068] The technical principle of the present utility model has been described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present utility model and cannot be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present utility model in any way. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can think of other specific embodiments of the present utility model without creative labor, and these embodiments will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
